Organic Cotton "Abant" Pestemal in Moss

$72.00

Quantity

Pestemals are traditional lightweight towels used both to dry off and as a body wrap in the Turkish Hamam public bath houses. Most commonly woven of cotton, the ones in my collection are made on old-style shuttle looms of 100% organiccotton sourced from South and Southeastern Turkey. Pestemals will soften and become more absorbent with each wash. Their light weight allows them to dry quickly, making them ideal for both home and travel. The colors are achieved using vegetable dyes.

Pestemals may be used as:

Bath Towels

Beach Towels

Picnic Blankets

Table Cloths

Shawls

Sarongs

Light Bed Spreads

Size: Bath Sheet, 34 x 66 inches, Flat Woven

Care: Machine wash in cold water. Machine or line dry. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Wash before first use.
